Take File Importing into production
The guides, Robot reference, and working demos teams reach for when File Importing has to run reliably at scale.
“Switching to a resumable upload model provided us with the ability to reliably upload large files or even upload from unstable connections, which you might find on a mobile app for example.”
Fabrizio Fenoglio, Storage Lead at Supabase
